Endrick’s dream of joining Real Madrid has finally come true, and he couldn’t hide his emotions during his unveiling at the Bernabeu.
The young Brazilian forward, who has been eager to wear the famous white kit, shared the heartfelt story behind his lifelong love for Los Blancos.
Wearing the Real Madrid jersey for the first time, Endrick confessed, “I hadn’t planned to cry, but I’ve loved Real Madrid since I was little because there was someone who came into my life: Cristiano Ronaldo.”
He continued, “It was because of him that I became interested in Real Madrid. I looked up all the idols a long time ago, including [Emilio] Butragueno.
I’ve always been in love with Real Madrid. Playing for Real Madrid is amazing and crying has come from my soul. I hope we can make history together.”
